Definitions
- the present invention relates to touch screen displays used in computer terminals, kiosks,
- the present invention relates to multiple finger input on touch screens.
- Touch screens have had enormous growth in many areas of modern life. Touch screens are now common in places such as kiosks at airports, automatic teller machines (ATMs), vending machines, computers of all kinds. The elimination of the need for a pointing device and/or a light pen in many applications has been widely successful.
- touch technologies many of which differ in the way that touch is detected. For example, capacitive technologies that utilize the finger as a shunt for a small alternat ing current that is run to ground through the operator's body.
- capacitive technologies that utilize the finger as a shunt for a small alternat ing current that is run to ground through the operator's body.
- scanning infrared systems a user's touch is registered when a finger (or a stylus) encounters an array of infrared beams.
- a surface acoustic-wave touch screen wherein the screen absorbs the acoustic waves propagating on the touch surface, and the touch is identified by the drop in acoustic signal from the touch location.
- Resistive touch technologies are based on two layers of conductive material held apart by small, barely visible spacers. When the screen is touched, the two layers come into contact, and two - dimensional coordinate information is generated by the voltages produced at the touch location.
- One of the problems with typical touch mechanisms is that they cannot determine the exact position of the fingers pressed up against a screen if more than one finger is used.
- One reason that such detection mechanisms have a problem with multi -finger pointing is that a sensing grid is used instead of a large number of point sensors. Fig.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a sensing grid. This figures shows of series of grids having a predetermined shape.
- the grid A', A, B', B is caused by the fingers touching A and B, or A' and B.
- the presently claimed invention provides a method and apparatus for a touch mecha nism to detect a two-finger input on touch screens.
- a square formed by the activation of the lines on the sensing grid caused by two finger touch can be used to make a selection of items that are displayed within this square in order to select, zoom, copy, move, delete, etc., or select a dial to rotate the contents of the grid.
- a combinatorial matrix touch screen is used to indicate a square with two fingers.
- a 3D virtual touch screen using the two -finger input of the present invention, permits a Z-coordinate that can be used to rotate the selected item(s) around the Z-axis.
- Fig. 1 is an illustration of a grid array used by a touch screen detection mechanism.
- Fig. 2A illustrates a first aspect of the present invention showing a single line of a sensing grid being activated.
- Fig. 2B illustrates a second aspect of the present invention utilizing a center of the squares to form a more accurate area sensed by touch.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a third aspect of the present invention that can be used with three dimensional viewing systems. It is to be understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art that the following descriptions are provided for purposes of illustration and not for limitation.
- the square shown in Fig. 1 that is formed by A, B, A' and B' can be used by the system without identifying exactly which two of the four points are being touched by the user.
- the bounded rectangle A' B B'A is taken as an input which is then used for the functions such as selection, zoom, color change, highlight, delete, etc.
- the movement of the fingers along the screen may change the selected portion of the screen.
- moving the fingers across the screen can perform a drag function for whic h one normally uses a pointing device, such as a mouse.
- the distance that the fingers are located from the screen can then be used, for example, to select an item, change the degree of zoom, change the colors within the area of the bounded box, or even to highlight the items within the bounded box.
- this multi-finger touch is detected by comparing which lines are touched in the horizontal direction.
- Fig. 2A illustrates a single line touched at two points, activating a single line of the sensing grid AB.
- This particular case would be less likely to occur than the first example, and has particular value, for example, if the difference between the lines activated in a certain direction is too small, e.g. given the granularity of the displayed items that could be selected.
- the vertical line is assumed to be activated by two finger touch; one of the fingers touching point A 205 and another finger touching point B 215. While there is a measurable vertical distance (in the Y direction) between point A 215 and point B 205, the horizontal distance is essentially zero between the two points. If only the AB sense line 210 is active, according to the invention a square can highlighted on screen using a line orthogonal to AB and passing through its midpoint.
- a single square/rectangle on the sensing grid can be illuminated on the display screen that is comprised of the two finger input. Therefore, unlike the first aspect of the invention, wherein the bounded box results from two points, both having different X and Y coordinates, in this example, a size of the rectangle shown on the display is calculated by the sensing of a length of at least one sensed line, and at a midpoint of the at least one sensed line calculating a second line 221 that is perpendicular to the at least one sensed line and having a same length as said at least one sensed line 210.
- Fig. 3 illustrates yet another aspect of the invention, wherein a screen comprises a 3D virtual touch screen.
- the screen would preferably comprise a capacitance sensing screen.
- the screen 305 is touched by a user with two fingers at respective points 310, 312.
- the capacitance sensing field senses multiple "blips", as two fingers are acting as shunts for a small alternating current that is run to ground (through the user's body).
- a "Z" coord inate which is a height from the surface of the touch screen can also be implemented with the two -finger input previous described.
- the distance of each of the fingers from the surface of the touch screen can affect the amount of current that is shunted through the user. There can be a determination made on the distance of the fingers based on the drop of, for example, current relative to a table of values.
- the term "touch” is relative in this instance, as the fingers can cause actuation of the screen display without necessarily pressing on the screen.
- the Z-coordinate can be used, for example to rotate the selected items on the screen around the Z-axis. Additionally, according to the present invention, the Z-coordinate can also be used as a zoom, particularly when the size of the intended selection on the screen is larger than the span of the fingers on the hand. This zoom would be particularly useful in large computer monitors, televisions, bathroom mirrors, etc. The distance of the fingers from the screen can be scaled to provide a variable zoom.
- the Z coordinate can then be used to zoom the size of the selection as a function of the distance to the screen. If the angle ⁇ (shown in fig. 3) is kept constant over all distances, the size of the surface of the selection grows with the square of the change in distance from screen. If the user changes the angle ⁇ by moving his fingers closer together or further apart, this would cause what constitutes the selected area, meaning that either more or less than what is between points 310 and 312 shown in Fig. 3 would be selected due to the change in the angle ⁇ . For example, Fig. 3 first shows a user's fingers in approximate contact with the screen 305.
- the function of taking the zoom factor of the surface as the square of the distance from the screen can be varied according to need.
- d (h + Ah) * d ⁇ h (wherein ⁇ h > 0).
- the present invention is applicable even if the distance from the screen in which the fingers can be detected changes from what is currently detectable.
- Fig. 3 gives one the impression that the zoom factor is strictly linear, it is understood that in actuality it may not be linear at all. Slight differences in distance closer to the screen may result in a varying in the amount of zoom that is not the same as compared to slight difference in dis tance of the fingers when relatively further away from the screen.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an example of hardware that can be used according to the present invention. This particular example illustrates a capacitive technology, but it should be noted that it is within the spirit and scope of the presently claimed invention that it can be adapted to other types of touch screens.
- a voltage source 401 will provide a predetermined voltage to co ntacts 405,406,407,408.
- the voltage could be deliver to only some of the contacts and then alternate to other contacts after a predetermined amount of time, or delivered to all the contacts.
- the screen would have an overlay that is coated with a transparent metal oxide.
- the voltage is applied to the contacts, there can be a small current running through the grid 408.
- two fingers either touch the screen (represented by the dots 409) or come within a predetermined distance so as to create a voltage drop at the points XI, Yl, X2, Y2, which are represented in the drawing by the dots 409.
- the finger acts like a shunt to drain some current/voltage from the grid.
- the exact location of the points are calculated by the controller 415 and transmitted to the display logic 420 that provides the screen output.
- the controller 415 has a module 417 that is used to detect an area of the screen, typically a rectangle, whose initial area is determined by the points on the screen contacted.
- the module 417 contains hardware and/or software to construct a rectangle by finding a midpoint of sense lines activated by the touch at points 409 and provide a perpendicular sense line of the same length through the midpoint
- the module 417 also is adapted to permit 3D -capability, wherein the selected area can be rotated around the Z coordinate, or the proximity of the fingers from the screen at a common angle there between to provide a variable zoom. As the fingers are backed away from the points 409, the zoom becomes larger and the close to the actual points 409 are the two fingers, the zoom can be decreased.
- the distance of the fingers from the screen can also be used for functions other than a zoom function. For example, such as distance can be used for increasing/decreasing a selection size of the area that can be controlled.
- the touch screen may use resistive, capacitive, SAW, Infrared or NFI (near field imaging).
- the screen can be coated with any known film used for touch display, and can be used on any type of display, including mirrors, windows, televisions, winds hields of vehicles (wherein a map could be displayed on a small area thereof, and the fingers could zoom in and out) computers, PDAs, wireless communication devices, standard wireless telephones, video cell phones, etc.
- the geographic portion identified by the touch is exemplified in the illustrations as a rectangle or square, it could be a circle, oval, triangle, diamond shape (two opposed triangles) polygonal, parallel - piqued, etc.
